http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ use this if you want to check your TDEE since you've lost the weight have you updated your TDEE? you may be eating above or below. When I plateau. I usually up the calories, but that is because I stick around 1200-1300 so I might increase mine to say 1400 for a couple of days. I eat clean…

I bought my daughter and I a fitbit one a month ago. I find it a good motivator I don;t worry to record my workouts, since it is synced with MFP and if I forget to wear it I can add it into the settings on fitbit. Plus I like seeing my work activity. I do a lot of walking at work and I like how it shows the active times in…

Are you eating clean? Low GI foods? Check that what you are eating for meals are nutritionally balanced,

your sodium intake appears to be consistently high, have you tried eating clean only

QUOTE: I only know it prepared the traditional Dutch way: boerenkool met worst. Boil the chopped kale with potatoes till they're all done. Pour of water, then mash it up with some butter, milk, salt & pepper. Serve with smoked Dutch sausage ("rookworst") and a generous dollup of sharp musterd. Quote OOh, kind of a spin on…

I have found it sustainable for two days a week when I am not working. I have not had a plateau, nor put any weight back on and have lost 20 pounds since joining 16th of January. So, it has only been for a short time. but I do feel extremely energized when I am juicing and find that I do not feel hungry and when I am back…

Sticking to the calorie is also a key. In a controlled environment and with the intense desire to reach a much wanted outcome, it would be very acheivable. How many stick strictly (truthfully) to it at least 6 days a week? I have noticed variations in calorie counts of foods as well unless the food is strictly measured and…

There is nothing wrong with sourcing protein from plants. Being sensible and choosing well the food you put on your plate, and thus into your mouth just takes a bit of education. The same as juicing, educate yourself about the sugar contents of foods, in the same way you know eating a whole packet of dried frutis is not…

Thanks for the ideas, I love pineapple so I will try the recipe too. Are there a few varieties of Kale? The other day I bought some that had long stalks like spinach, although it definitely wasn't spinach, then yesterday the one I bought was mostly leaf, and not as green as the first one, more of a grey/green.

Australia here, you can add me if you like, think it is my 5th week or coming into my 6th.

I've lost 13 pounds since joining on the 16th of January, the scale didn't budge for a week and a half, and it seems to have been that way consistently for me. Don't weigh daily, just keep it up and weigh again in a few days time.

I have gone back to 1200 after 3 days, because many foods I am eating are low GI I found the 1500 was a lot to try and eat, and as I stayed fuller longer, I couldn't add extra in snacks either. The times I had no problem making the 1500 were when I went to a family BBQ and a family roast which included wine and lemonade as…

Most days my plate is full of baby spinach and lettuce. I add 5 cherry tomatoes, a capsicum (pepper) lasts over a week, small amount of cucumber and I use lemon juice and greek yoghurt for dressing. I sometimes add bean shoots/sprouts, I don't eat bread, and rarely rice or pasta although this week I have had brown rice…

what about fruit? fruits packed with complex carbohydrates apricots, oranges, plums, pears, grapefruits prunes. Broccoli Cauliflower? raw with lentil dip Add legumes to your soup? low carb nuts and seeds

I am glad I read this, I have noticed it with my seat belt, but was feeling a bit deflated not really noticing it in my waist.. My bust and legs are the other places. But I have only lost 11lbs so reading how long it may take gives me some great encouragement!

I have been on MFP for 3 weeks coming into my fourth, exercising daily, moderately ,keeping my pulse around 122 which my son calculated for fat burning (he isn't here to ask, and I can't remember he asked for my age and something else to calculate it). I started weights this week not too heavy just 15 kg bar bell doing 3…

Tonight I made brown rice with Jamie Olivers - salsa verde to which I added capsicum, advocado, red onion and as well I had a piece of fresh salmon. It was relatively low carb and very filling, plus easy to make.around 350 to 450 cal and 18 carbs

Thanks for the information, saute sounds nice. I've been wanting to try it but unsure it seems quite expensive for the quantity. I don't mind the expense if it is nutritional and tastes OK. I don't want to have to hold my nose to eat it lol.

@Char3 My daughter bought my favourite ice cream flavour today, even though I had made a small bowl of yoghurt I added a scoop, and even though it tasted of chemicals I still ate it. I know I won't have it again, but I understand having the temptation around can be a slippery slope.

Hi I have been on here for about two weeks and finding it to be a great tool, learning a lot from the forum posts. I eat mostly whole foods, using tinned salmon and tuna. As well as buying some frozen calorie controlled foods from a company that has been running for 25 years or so with great reviews. I work shift work and…

If you are at the computer for extended times, have you tried you-tube for a five minute dance break, I mean if you are home ha not at the library. For example try Justin Timberlake Sexy Back And if you are a boredom eater have you thought of making up some snacks and leaving them in the fridge even if its a small tub of…

You could make a nice curried chicken sneak in a few vegetables and serve it on a bed of roughly chopped steamed cauliflower here is a recipe you might like - you could also dice some capsicum and carrot or some other veg diced I use pumpkin or sweet potato as well Indian Chicken Curry A quick and simple chicken curry…

Mine is so much about portion control, I had a piece of chocolate the other day, my daughter had a block in her room and I was curious, could I have a piece without wanting more, I was suprised how easily I did it, The same my son bought me home gravy and chips, I kidded 'how could you' and told him the dogs would be…

Thank you all for your honesty and views, I am enjoying seeing how great my skin looks and how good I feel,even though I have lost a minimal of weight at this time, I can feel the difference in myself and my body, just from eating whole foods and cutting out processed convenience foods. I have next to no aches 100% of the…

haha my bad, still new I just seen it on one of the boards and didn't look at the date. hahha too funny so sorry, Old confused saying 'Opinions are like something something, everyone has got one'

I definitely agree with hersheythecat. It is like saying everything is OK when it is not. I don't like the saying a leopard never changes its spots, but I have found it to be true. If your ending the relationship wasn't cathartic for her, you'll probably find your present won't be either. And yes, IMO it would be seen as…
